I often wonder what Amelia will be like when she gets older. Will she be a “girly girl” or a “tom boy”? Me, I was a little of both. One of my favorite things to do was climb trees. If I was outside, I was in a tree somewhere.

On the other hand, I loved dancing. Every year, I looked forward to the recital. My family would all pile up and watch the ballet that I had been practicing for all year. My part was less than five minutes with 15 other little girls, but I thought I was the center of the show.

Will she like sports or ballet? Hubby says she will be a Motorcross star. Whatever she chooses, she will be the best in my eyes.

Amelia is really starting to show her personality.She’s the little social butterfly lately.The ladies at her new daycare say that the other teachers come in there just to see her.They said “she’s always happy and makes us smile”.I couldn’t be more proud.

Two weeks before I was due, I was driving to the grocery store and it dawned on me…. I will never be able to come and go as I please again. My heart started pounding and my palms got sweaty. Two weeks passed and I was still pregnant with no signs of contractions at all. My belly just kept growing and growing….. The Cocoa Butter Stretch Mark Cream supply was dwindling.

On July 29th, 2010 (two weeks AFTER my due date), my hubby and I welcomed the most precious being into this world.

I knew right then that my life was forever changed.

Now, my heart still pounds and my palms stay sweaty, but for a different reason.

My hubby got me into Dirt Track Racing. I have never been into anything like that, but I really enjoy the smell of the fuel, the pumped up crowds, the super loud exhausts, and the dirt hitting me in the head (if I get too close).

He really wanted to be able to share this experience with Amelia to see if she would like it (sitting far up in the stands of course). We see people bring babies to the races all the time, some wearing ear protection and some not. We didn’t want to take a chance on this affecting her hearing so we bought some Baby Banz Hearing Protector Earmuffs.

She absolutely LOVED them! I didn’t even want to watch the race because I watched her the whole time. She kept talking to herself and looking around smiling (probably because that’s all she could hear).
